Hyundai Ix20 SE Blue Drive (2016)
2016 Hyundai Ix20 SE Blue Drive
CarHunch analysed 119 real MOT records for the 2016 Hyundai Ix20 SE Blue Drive. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2016 Hyundai IX20 SE Blue Drive sits just below the UK average with a 78.5% first-time pass rate versus the national 80%, suggesting broadly average reliability for its age. The complete absence of dangerous defects across 119 vehicles tested is genuinely reassuring, and the very low failure rate of 0.18 per vehicle indicates most cars pass with minimal significant issues.
At roughly 40,000 miles on average, these cars have been driven moderately and show minimal wear—advisories are virtually non-existent, which means owners aren't facing the minor warning signs that typically precede problems. If you're considering one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on suspension and brakes (the most common failure points at this age), and expect to handle routine maintenance rather than major repairs.
What to check before buying a 2016 Hyundai Ix20 SE Blue Drive
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
